Hayden Hidlay Once Again Tabbed ACC Wrestler of the Week
RALEIGH, N.C. – For the second time this season, and the seventh time in his career, NC State R-Jr. Hayden Hidlay has been named the ACC Wrestler of the Week. Hidlay is coming off a dominant performance at 157 pounds in the Wolfpack’s 24-12 win at Appalachian State last Friday night. Hidlay picked up his third ranked win of the season when he scored a 16-3 major decision over #20 Matt Zovistoski. Hidlay jumped out to a 4-0 lead after the first and extended it to 7-2 going into the third. He then notched his third takedown of the bout, and scored a four-point and then a two-point near fall to open it up in the third period and get the bonus point win, which gave the Pack the lead for good. Zovistoski, a two-time NCAA Qualifier, was ranked #17 by FloWrestling and #20 by InterMat. The bout was a rematch between Hidlay and Zovistoski from the Wolfpack Wrestling Club Open back in November, which was narrowly won by Hidlay thanks to a third period takedown, 3-2.

Ironman, Beast of the East wrestling: Winning isn’t everything … or the only thing
Nazareth’s Tyler Tarsi and Ray Ward finished among the top four in their respective weight classes in previous years at the prestigious Beast of the East tournament, then did not medal later that season at the PIAA Wrestling Championships in Hershey. “I’ve seen too many guys for us doing well at the Beast and it sometimes being a bad luck charm,” coach Dave Crowell said. Bethlehem Catholic’s Matt Lackman has medals from the Beast of the East and the Walsh Jesuit Ironman, which is Friday and Saturday in Ohio, but he has yet to wrestle in the state tournament because of injuries. Area coaches who are taking teams to two of the nation’s most prestigious tournaments this month are looking to walk away with lessons, more than medals. “Yeah, if a kid gets beat around,” Crowell added, “he is always easier to coach. For some good kids from other states, it’s how they get recruited. For us [in Pennsylvania], you want to place high in the state tournament. “Most kids can’t have everything. The pretty freaky ones do great all year long and do great at the end.” This weekend, Bethlehem Catholic, Easton and Notre Dame-GP are sending contingents to the Ironman.Lineups for area teams, top seeds for this weekend’s Walsh Jesuit Ironman »
Next weekend, Bethlehem Catholic, Nazareth, Northampton, Whitehall, Notre Dame-GP and Saucon Valley are going to the University of Delaware for the Beast. Golden Hawks coach Jeff Karam is looking for those lessons this weekend for his 11 entries.

Short Time Shots: Keiser takes first win and how to interrupt a podcast (12-13-19)
It’s Friday the 13th. It was perhaps the only cool thing about growing up with the name Jason. The whole mythological thing with the Argonauts hadn’t quite resonated just yet – and since I didn’t go to school at the University of Providence or play in Toronto in the CFL, those references were lost on me – just like those two COULD be lost on you. This is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more from in and around the world of wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant. Before we get to the college action, the Walsh Ironman, one of the best high school wrestling tournaments in the universe is rolling on in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. To keep with the theme, Wyoming Seminary coach Scott Green says Sem has 13 entered, 13 survived on the 13th. Somewhat witty. No truth to the rumor Coach Green was at Wing Warehouse with the seedy underbelly of the wrestling internet. Sometimes you get interrupted from recording a show by three people in said town of Cuyahoga Falls.

I mean put myself under more duress, chosen suffering.
What is the biggest break that helped you helped you get to where you are today?
I had so many breaks. I think that the most critical tool for success is people and the people you surround yourself with. I’ve had so many people around me that are so good at what they do.

State-record fourth straight championship won by Fresno City
FRESNO – For the fourth season in a row, and 18th time in their history, Fresno City College has won the CCCAA Wrestling State Championships. It marks the first time a school has won four consecutive state championships.

Multi-Divisional Insider: Western Wyoming is soaring after ditching chemistry for ‘curb appeal’
Art Castillo won’t claim to know more about chemistry than an actual chemistry teacher. But Castillo certainly got to know the insides of a chemistry lab when he first took over as head wrestling coach at Western Wyoming Community College 11 seasons ago. Located in the lower western corner of Wyoming, 2.5 hours east of Salt Lake City, and five hours north of Denver, Western Wyoming has risen to the upper echelons of NJCAA wrestling hierarchy in the last few years under Castillo’s direction. The Mustangs have held the No. 1 spot in the past two NJCAA rankings and will be looking for the school’s first NJCAA national team title in March in Council Bluffs, Iowa. But long before WWCC rose to national contender, the Mustangs had humble beginnings. “When I started we were in an old science lab, old chemistry lab,” Castillo said. “We couldn’t even fit a whole mat in there. We didn’t have a weight room, locker room, coaches’ office. “And, when it got cold and because we didn’t have a locker room, guys would show up to practice with book bags, workout bags, coats and that took up some valuable real estate. “We had so many challenges,” Castillo finished. Five years ago that all changed for Castillo and the Mustangs when Western Wyoming built a brand new athletic facility, which includes a wrestling-dedicated practice room, large enough for two full 44′ x 44′ mats, locker room, office, meeting room, weight room and cardio room. “Curb appeal,” Castillo said if it has gotten easier to recruit to Rock Springs, the fifth-largest city in Wyoming at 23,000. “Now that we have these facilities it is easier to sell our program and our philosophy. When we get kids here on a visit and it is now more (an attitude of) I can definitely get the job done here.

Short Time Shots: Vanguard waits 39 years between dual wins (12-12-19)
The number 12 carries religious, mythological and magical symbolism, generally representing perfection, entirety or cosmic order in traditions since antiquity. It’s also the number of qualifiers teams in the NAIA are allowed to send to the national championships, and the most frequent number won by Super Bowl winning quarterbacks. None of that is scientifically researched because why should I be the last guy on the earth to fact-check things before I post them. The first citation is from my former roommate Willie Evans and the rest of the 12 House Crew as we celebrate the 12 House New Year on 12:12 at 12:12. This is Short Time Shots, your mostly daily recap of the scores and more from around the world of wrestling. I’m Jason Bryant and I’ll probably be recording this around 12:12 … on the 13th.
By the way, it’s never the best look to apologize in the intro of a podcast, so I won’t. However, why no Shots the past few days? Well after realizing it’s extremely difficult to schedule and cultivate this while working an event – I was in Canada announcing their Olympic Trials – it’s also tough to do when you don’t have another parent around. My wife was also traveling for business. But I did decide to push one out today – why? Well, the longer you put off doing something, the longer it takes for you to actually do it – or something. You know what I mean.
Minnesota Beer of the Night: French River by Wooden Hill Brewing. To be honest, I didn’t like it too much. It’s a 6.5 percent saison, but it tasted better when I had it at the brewery in Edina.

JUMPING LEVELS – LUKE PLETCHER FALL ‘19
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Luke Pletcher heads into the holiday break with an unblemished 14-0 mark, highlighted by an undeniable hike in his attack rate. Over half of those victories have come against nationally-ranked opponents. Dominating during the Fall semester is nothing new for Pletcher, going 13-1 and 16-0 the last two autumns. The difference in ’19 has been his heightened performance when facing top-25 foes. Pletcher has outscored the higher-tiered competition by a combined tally of 103-41 (+61), good for a victory margin average of 7.75 points per top-25 win. That makes him just a quarter point per win shy of averaging a major decision vs. nationally-ranked adversaries. Whoa.

He competes on the mat, in the classroom and in something as miniscule as a card game. That’s just how he lives his life. Kutler’s internal fire started during his freshman year of high school, wrestling for Blair Academy in Blairstown, New Jersey. After picking up a few tough wins at a big tournament and increasing his amount of takedowns each day at practice, he felt propelled to do more. “It was just that constant fuel on the fire,” Kutler said. “Go get it. Go chase your dreams. Go work hard.” This fire has been continuously burning and growing throughout the years, especially as he begins his season as a fifth-year for the Lehigh Mountain Hawks. Kutler prides himself on doing everything in his power to win – in academics, in competition and in practice. Academically, Kutler received a Bachelor’s of Science in Behavioral Neuroscience, posting a 3.3 GPA and is currently working on his master’s degree in Technical Entrepreneurship. He’s always trying to learn something new and work harder than his peers in the classroom to gain a competitive edge, and he is dedicated to excelling in the little things. Athletically, Kutler listens to his body, intakes a healthy diet and gets more sleep.

Longtime Hofstra Publicist Jim Sheehan To Retire From Hofstra
By: Stephen Gorchov
Hempstead, NY – Hofstra’s longtime senior sports information director Jim Sheehan has announced that he will retire from the University effective January 3, 2020. “I am truly grateful for all the things that Hofstra has given to me over my long tenure at the University, Sheehan said. “I have spent more than half of my life at Hofstra and I will always have a warm spot in my heart for Hofstra. I’m too young to just sit on the porch and watch the world go by so I am looking forward to the next chapter in my life. To the many student-athletes, coaches, staff, alums, media members and friends that I leave behind, I wish them all the best of luck and success. It has been great working with you all and I thank you for everything.” “Jim has been a huge part of the success of Hofstra Athletics immediately upon his arrival in 1988 and served this department and the University in an exemplary manner over the 30-plus years,” commented Hofstra Vice President and Director of Athletics Rick Cole Jr. “We congratulate him on his retirement from Hofstra and look forward to the next step in his journey. Jim is a legend at Hofstra and I know I speak for everyone in thanking him for his outstanding service to the University.” “There are few people as dedicated, as hardworking, and as well-connected as Jim Sheehan,” mentioned Hofstra Vice President for University Relations Melissa Connolly. “An informal historian of Hofstra athletics, he remains close to student-athletes for years after they graduate, … … Rest of the story at https://gohofstra.com/news/2019/12/12/general-ath-longtime-hofstra-publicist-jim-sheehan-to-retire-from-hofstra.aspx?mc_cid=128ff71298&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
D1 Insider: Huskers hoping another Vegas title leads them to hardware in March
By Travis Johnson, Trackwrestling
For the last five years, Nebraska’s wrestling program has inched closer and closer to national prominence. With a handful of Top 10 finishes at the NCAA tournament under their belts, the Cornhuskers are prepared to take the next step and their performance at the Cliff Keen Invitational is the best evidence yet. Nebraska won the team title last weekend in Las Vegas, where Isaiah White won his second straight individual championship. Husker teams won Cliff Keen team titles in 2003 and 2008. Both years saw them finish in the Top 5 at the NCAA tournament. That’s the goal this time around too, and Manning believes a team trophy is well within this group’s reach. “Absolutely. We’ve felt like it,” Manning told Trackwrestling.com. “But it has to come from within your team. This team feels it. This team wants it and that’s what’s most important. We have good leadership. Our team has really come together, and they’ve got each other’s backs. That’s where we have some momentum, but we have a way to go.” Veterans like White, 141-pounder Chad Red and 184-pounder Taylor Venz have paced the lineup for a few seasons now. This year, the Huskers have a handful of young, rising stars helping them close the gap. Mikey Labriola (174), Peyton Robb (157) and Ridge Lovett (133) have all taken big steps through the first half of the season. They are a combined 29-7 so far. Robb redshirted last season and went 22-3 in open competition to set up his entrance to this year’s lineup. Manning originally planned to redshirt Lovett this winter, but the freshman has been able to cut to 133 pounds without detriment and hasn’t missed a beat after going 169-0 for Post Falls High School in Idaho. Like Red and Venz, Labriola earned All-America status last season in his first year competing for the Huskers with a sixth-place finish at the NCAA tournament. Manning said his ceiling is as high as anyone the Huskers send to the mat.

Demetra Yancopoulos wants you to drop the modifier
“I just want to wrestle”: meet Demetra Yancopoulos
Five-foot-four, 120 pounds, every inch of her muscle-bound, she knows she’s making history. She knows she’s at the forefront of a movement. She knows it’s an important one. Yancopoulos is the second female wrestler in University history to earn a spot on Princeton’s varsity roster. She’s one of only two female wrestlers training for NCAA Division I programs today. She’ll likely be half of the first-ever Ivy League female wrestling match. But enough with that f-word trailing her every move. Yancopoulos just wants to wrestle.Before she was 19 years old and a Division I pioneer, Yancopoulos was 12 years old and a recess soccer star. Routinely and ruthlessly, she showed her playground rivals who was boss — and recognized an alarming trend. “Every time I’d beat a boy,” she said, “he’d tell me, ‘Yeah, you’re good. But you’d never be able to start on a guys’ soccer team.’” This did not sit well with her; Yancopoulos decided she had a point to prove. So seeking a sport that would allow her to compete head-on with boys (and following in the footsteps of her eldest brother), Yancopoulos tried out for her middle school’s all-boys wrestling team. She passed a New York State fitness test, made the roster, spent a month learning the basics of wrestling, and suffered three humiliating defeats. Her dad and two elder brothers urged her to quit the sport. They told her (jokingly, she stresses) that she was bringing shame upon the family.

UHSAA Board of Trustees sanctions girls wrestling in Utah, details to be determined
High school girls wrestling is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States. Take Fremont High’s wrestling program as an example. Last year, the Silverwolves finished the season with five girls on the team and there’s 16 on the team this year with four more testing the waters and 12 more in the youth program. Brooke Handley, a junior who’s been wrestling for two years, is Fremont’s team captain, head coach Cody Storey said. “Each year for the last five years it’s really started growing. We’d get a girl here and there in our youth program … which was like a sibling that wanted to roll around with their brothers. It’s consistently growing even in our youth program,” Storey said. There’s a high school girls wrestling state championship in Utah County every February, plenty of girls wrestling clubs in the state, tournaments, clinics and lots of support for a sport that doubled in participation nationally from the 2010-11 school year to the 2016-17 year. And now in Utah, it’s officially sanctioned. The Utah High School Activities Association Board of Trustees voted at its Nov. 21 meeting to officially sanction girls wrestling starting in the 2020-21 school year. That would ostensibly target the first official girls wrestling state tournament sometime in February or March 2021, about a year-and-a-quarter from when the vote happened. “I think it’s really awesome, these girls are tough, they try hard and I think that it’s good that they get into it and enjoy it,” Handley said.

Fort Osage event highlights growth in girls wrestling
This was a scene Fort Osage freshman Haley Ward never imagined she would see. Here she was, surrounded by dozens of other girls wrestling Tuesday night on five mats in two gyms at her own school. “I really didn’t expect girls wrestling to grow this much,” Ward said. “I was the only girl when I started, so to see all these girls really makes me happy.” It was a happy sight for anyone interested in girls wrestling and another sign of how quickly the sport has been growing. Fort Osage played host to its first “Battle of the Braids” Girls Wrestling Scramble, and 185 girls from 28 schools – including William Chrisman, Grain Valley, Van Horn and Lee’s Summit North – showed up. No team scores were kept, and the competition took place in brackets based on ability. Still, it was an impressive display of participation and talent in a sport that just barely existed on the high school level until last year. “We’re kind of at the forefront of growth in wrestling,” said Fort Osage coach Brandon Wackerman, who oversees the Indians’ boys and girls teams. “Your seeing year two of wrestling being a stand-alone sport in Missouri and the first in Kansas. So this is just the very forefront of that and you’re seeing a great turnout in both states.” They turned out to compete in a round-robin format of three-girl divisions, with some weight classes divided into as many as seven divisions. Each wrestler got two matches. With so many girls so new to the sport, Wackerman believed the format was the best way to get many of them competitive matches against opponents of similar ability. “In a bracketed tournament, generally speaking all of the seeds are hitting unranked wrestlers,” Wackerman said. “People always ask in those tournaments when are the semis, when are the finals. The nice thing about a night like this is you had two Fargo All-Americans wrestling each other in the first 20 minutes.” Rest of the story at https://www.examiner.net/sports/20191211/fort-osage-event-highlights-growth-in-girls-wrestling?mc_cid=ccc735817e&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
Wrestling is an Iowa obsession. But where are the girls?
State association sees too little support for sanctioning the sport for girls’ teams
IOWA CITY — When she got to high school, Laurel Haverkamp didn’t try out for the wrestling team despite wrestling through junior high. The team was male-dominated and highly competitive, she said. So she stayed off the mat for her first three years at West High in Iowa City. This week, the 18-year-old was back on, spending hours Monday in the school’s wrestling room — running drills and jumping into a wrestler’s stance — with some 20 other girls who make up West’s first-ever girls’ wrestling team. The athletes are some of nearly 500 girls wrestling this season in Iowa, where the sport has exploded in popularity among high school girls only recently, despite a rich state history of wrestling for boys. About 480 girls are on team rosters this school year, according to Iowa USA Wrestling, up from just 40 girls across the state five years ago. But while teams crop up in several school districts — including Iowa City, Decorah, Dubuque and Waverly-Shell Rock — girls’ wrestling in Iowa remains an unsanctioned sport.

Brossard the total package for RCTC wrestling program
Rochester Community and Technical College wrestling coach Randy Rager loves getting complete student-athletes into his program. The Yellowjackets coach feels like he hit the jackpot with Seth Brossard. Brossard won an individual state championship during his senior season at Kenyon-Wanamingo when he went a perfect 48-0 last winter. Rager was not only excited to have Brossard join the Yellowjackets as a wrestler this season, but also as a student.

Ian Clark Named Head Men’s Wrestling Coach
ELMIRA, N.Y. — Following an extensive search, Elmira College Director of Athletics Renee Carlineo is pleased to announce the appointment of Ian Clark as head coach of the Soaring Eagles’ men’s wrestling program. Clark faces the unique challenge of building a program from the ground up. Although EC briefly sponsored men’s wrestling during the 1970s, the Soaring Eagles will return to the mat for the first time in nearly four decades during the 2020-21 academic year. “We are incredibly excited to have Ian as the first head coach of Elmira College men’s wrestling,” Carlineo said. “Ian is a passionate coach, hard-working recruiter, and a strong teacher. We could not be more eager to see what he can do in building this program from the ground up.” “I am excited for the chance to build something special in such an amazing setting,” Clark said. “I want to thank Renee Carlineo and the rest of the administration at Elmira College for giving the sport of wrestling an opportunity on this beautiful campus. I’m looking forward to getting to work right away. I have had the privilege to wrestle for and work with a lot of great coaches. I’m very appreciative of everything that I learned from them and intend to work very hard to pass those lessons along.” A 2011 graduate of SUNY Cortland and a two-year member of the Red Dragons’ wrestling program, Clark has gained valuable experience as an assistant coach at three NCAA Division III institutions. His coaching career began as a volunteer assistant at his alma mater under the guidance of his former coach and a five-time Empire Collegiate Wrestling Conference (ECWC) Coach of the Year, Brad Bruhn. With Clark on the bench during the 2010-11 campaign, the Red Dragons finished 14th at the NCAA Division III Championships.

USA Wrestling for Peace Ambassadors visit Zambia and Uganda
BY AUSTIN AND JULIE LANDES, AMBASSADORS FOR THE USA WRESTLING FOR PEACE PROGRAM | DEC. 11, 2019
Let’s connect some dots. How does an entrepreneurial couple from New York who have never wrestled become ambassadors for wrestling? Simple answer: Relationship. Long story short, we’re Austin and Julie Landes, Ambassadors for the USA Wrestling for Peace Program. Awhile back, our good friend Dan Russell asked us to join his humanitarian efforts, and we quickly said yes. His passion to serve those in need was contagious and aligned with our passions as well. Nonprofit work doesn’t work without a team of capable individuals committed to making a difference. We strongly believe in team-building, and our work in that area in the non-profit arena has resulted in Make It Rain, a US-based 501(c)3 organization dedicated to utilizing networking skills to simply help others help others. Since 2012, millions of lives have been impacted through our initiatives, as we work in coordination with government ministries and officials, established NGOs, and private partners. These relationships have lead our team to work alongside those with limited to no health care provision or capabilities. We collaborate with governments and rural communities to provide basic medicines that are otherwise lacking. Each shipment impacts tens of thousands of lives. Recently we had the privilege of coordinating an airlift of medicine in partnership with The First Lady of Zambia, Her Excellency Esther Lungu, Her Foundation, the Zambian Ministry of Health and Explore Africa.
